Cherry G80-1000HAD / 23

[steinimbrett]

Hi, I'm new to the community, so first I'd like to say hello.

Since I'm also new to the whole mechanical keyboard thing, I'd like to purchase a few cheap Cherry keyboards on ebay to see which switches I like the best and if they'll suit me for both typing and gaming. Having read somewhere that also some of the older Cherry models feature n-key rollover I'm really curious if and how this could be found out by interpreting the article number. Is it possible? And would the keyboard mentioned in the subject support n-key rollover?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Welcome to deskthority
If you want to try out the different switches, then you should probably take a look at this topic :

im assuming youre german. HAD boards often were NKRO, but not always. Ive found early revisions /06 and earlier to definitely use diodes....but its still a guessing game. If you would like to buy some NKRO boards, I have both g80-1000 HFD with blues and HAD with blacks in my "for sale" pile. I also have plenty of other vintage cherry stuff with or without NKRO, like g80-3000, g80-1501, g80-1600 etc.
